20.5.6.1 Family Planning Services for Undocumented Aliens, Legalized Aliens
Undocumented aliens are identified for limited Medicaid eligibility by the classification of Type Program (TP) 30, 31, 34, and 35. Under Texas Medicaid, these clients are only eligible for emergency services, including emergency labor and delivery. Emergency-only services do not cover family planning under Texas Medicaid to prevent future unintended pregnancies. All providers are strongly encouraged to promote the benefits and availability of family planning services under Titles V, X, and XX for this population. The family planning funding sources cover the provision of contraceptive devices, supplies, counseling, and sterilizations for these clients. Providers are asked to be aware of the importance of referral of these clients to family planning providers who receive Titles V, X, and XX funds with the goal of preventing future unintended pregnancies and births.
